Bright Star's Carmen Cusack Gives Us Life with 'If You Knew My Story' Music Video

Broadway delivered one of the most memorable musicals of the year when Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's Bright Star arrived at the Cort Theatre in 2016. In addition to the show's delightful banjo-laden score, Bright Star presented a breakthrough performance from Carmen Cusack in the central role of Alice Murphy. While the Tony-nominated musical closed too soon, Bright Star is currently back onstage at Center Theatre Group's Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles. Cusack is reprising her acclaimed performance alongside fellow original cast members including A.J. Shively as Billy Cane and Jeff Blumenkrantz as Daryl in the run set to play through November 19, which will be followed by an engagement at San Francisco's Curran Theatre from November 28 through December 17. Filmmaker Ezra Hurwitz captured a music video of Bright Star’s infectious opening number, "If You Knew My Story," featuring Cusack alongside Shively, Blumenkrantz and their fellow cast. Give it a watch below and make your way out west to catch the gorgeous musical live.
